- THE ATELIER

Atelier Saana Koivusalo is an architecture & art studio. The work combines elements, ideas, and techniques used in architecture, sculpture, and music.

Through architecture one gains a skill to bring together languages, techniques and ideas from different fields. Cultures, sciences, arts, politics. Combining elements from an odd couple, improvising while creating something new.

Creating glass sculptures is about creating spaces. In the glassblowing process, you can feel the glass inhabiting the empty space, mimicking the shape of the wooden mold. Escaping the center, extending into its corners, building its walls in glass. By sculpting the glass by hand, you can feel the piece grow, twist and turn. That’s when you become the protagonist of your own work.

Playing music is 50/50: Experience & Intuition.

When you know the piece on the keys well enough, you can just let the fingers lead the way.
